You made a simple Mistake, also it's normal for English learners, no matter how long you've been learning it.

Oh, that’s nothing. My (Spanish) mother to this day continues to make horrendous blunders in English. Mostly while out shopping.
Imagine the following in a full sentence for context:
- Raping paper (wrapping paper)
- Orange Jews (orange juice)
- Turkey goblins (giblets)
- Testicles (witnesses, ie testigos)
- Robber globs (rubber gloves)
- Cheek pies (chick peas)
And many many more.

Reply to TIFU by "ruining" a friendship by Wafflesfortheday
Honestly, it's totally fine if you don't go, it most likely is your friends FU. Not yours. Resolution to many of these Post are 'get better friends', with this one I can totally agree "get better friends''

Do not feel ashamed! When a person is learning a new language, mistakes always happen. The men should have corrected you, with kindness and understanding, and explained the mistake, and you all could have had a laugh.

Don't feel bad about trying your best!
Looks like they don't have a sense of humour. It's a funny mistake. No worries.

The proper word is “rappist” when you’re speaking in the passive triplepardthirdcipal so it’s really on them for being so tightup with your’n mistake.

You def have gastritis and you may even have Pancreatitis. Go see a Dr. If you can’t afford it (I’m Aussie and we know healthcare isn’t cheap over there) then go get yourself a good reflux medication and some probiotics. Try and stay on a very bland diet (clear fluids would be best) for a few weeks and if it doesn’t improve you may need IV antibiotics and a couple days in hosp on IV fluids. We get pancreatitis patients in to ED pretty much every day with symptoms just like yours so don’t beat yourself up but learn something from this so you don’t do it again.

My Filipino girlfriend introduced me to a sweet rice cake dessert called ‘puto’. I told her parents I like ‘puta’.

Pretty sure it's gastritis. You want the pink lady combo in emerge. Quick dissolve pantoprazole, ondansetron and morphine.
You're story is almost my own experience exactly and that was my diagnosis and treatment.

That's a totally understandable mistake. It's nothing to be ashamed of. These things happen when learning a new language. Keep at it.

Simple Mistake to make. Now you know that the person making rap music is a rapper, not a rapist.
Though thinking about it, may be you were right first time. Favorite description by a DJ: "He is rap artist and has made several hit records. ...... Thats rap with a silent C and hit with a silent S".
